Presentation
The aim of the Bachelor's degree in Chemistry University Bachelor of Technology (B.U.T) is to provide a high level of general knowledge, both theoretical and experimental, in chemistry, and more particularly in the fields of organic and inorganic chemistry, and physical and analytical chemistry. This degree is designed to give students the possibility of immediate professional integration in all areas of chemistry. It also provides access to various scientific Masters degrees in chemistry offered by the University of Orléans, or available on the national and international training scene, in applied or specialized areas of chemistry.
The Bachelor of Science in Chemistry offers 5 additional courses:
- Chemistry (CH) pathway
- Enhanced Chemistry & Life Sciences (CH-SV): accessible to L2 students by dossier
- Chemistry Access to Health (LAS-CS): accessible to L1 students by application.
- DU Cursus de Master en Ingénierie "Chimie pour l'Innovation Thérapeutique et la Cosmétique" (CMI-CITC) (Master's Degree in Engineering in Chemistry for Therapeutic Innovation and Cosmetics): accessible in L1 by application.
- The Chemistry Graduate Programm of Excellence (GPEx Minerve): accessible in L1 by application.

Organization
Special features
Chemistry courses are taught by teacher-researchers from the Chemistry division, who belong to leading research laboratories in these disciplines.
Program
The first year (L1) of the Licence de Chimie consists of a two-discipline portal. The portals leading to the Licence de Chimie are as follows
- Physics Chemistry(PC) portal
- the Chemistry and Earth Sciences portal(CSt)
- Life Sciences Chemistry(SvC) portal
- the Chemistry and Health portal(LAS-CS): access by application
The second (L2) and third (L3) years of the Bachelor's degree in Chemistry are spent in one of the following programs:
- Chemistry (CH) pathway : accessible after a PC or CSt or SvC portal
The Bachelor's degree in Chemistry offers basic courses in Chemistry with applications in the main fields and in particular:
- General Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry
- Inorganic Chemistry
- Analytical Chemistry
- Physical Chemistry
The aim is to acquire a solid theoretical and experimental grounding in all these fields.
The 6 semesters making up the Chemistry degree also include teaching units in English, and an introduction to research.
- Enhanced Chemistry and Life Sciences (CH-SV): accessible in L2 by application after an SvC portal.
This course is based entirely on the Chemistry degree, and also includes teaching units from the Life Science degree: Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Biochemistry. It is aimed at students wishing to move on to Masters degrees at the interface between chemistry and biology.
- Chemistry Access Health (LAS-CS): accessible after a LAS-CS portal
This pathway is based entirely on the Chemistry degree, and also includes a health teaching unit. It is the continuation of the LAS-CS portal, for students wishing to retake the competitive examination for medical studies. It includes the Health module, and gives access to health courses (Medicine, Maieutics, Odontology, Pharmacy and Physiotherapy) subject to admission.
- DU Cursus Master en Ingénierie "Chimie pour l'Innovation Thérapeutique et Cosmétique" (CMI-CITC) (Master's degree in Chemistry for Therapeutic and Cosmetic Innovation): accessible in L1 by application.
The CMI program is a reinforced 5-year training program (3 in the Bachelor's program and 2 in the Master's program) that prepares students for engineering careers in the fields of chemistry for medicines and cosmetics. The curriculum is based on the chemistry bachelor's degree, to which are added specific socio-economic and cultural courses, as well as a strong awareness of biology and biochemistry. The program continues with a Master's degree in Chemistry, specializing in COT and BC at the Université d'Orléans (see the UFR website).
- Chemistry Graduate Program of Excellence (GPEx Minerve) : accessible in L1 on the basis of a dossier
This pathway is based entirely on the Chemistry degree, and also includes teaching units designed to raise awareness of research careers (see website).
Admission
Admission requirements
"Training "EXPECTATIONS
Applicants for the Chemistry degree are expected to :
- Have ccientific skills
This specialization requires the ability to analyze, problematize and reason, as well as the capacity for abstraction, logic and modeling, and mastery of a core of disciplinary knowledge and associated experimental methods.
- Communication skills
This specialization requires the ability to communicate both orally and in writing in a rigorous and appropriate manner, the ability to document in at least one foreign language, primarily English, and the ability to write and speak it at B level.
- Methodological and behavioral skills
This specialization requires intellectual curiosity, the ability to organize and manage learning, and the ability to plan personal work and stick to it over time.
In these main areas, and for all scientific bachelor's degrees, high-school students must demonstrate at least an adequate command of the main scientific skills targeted in their final year of high school.
In addition :
- Each science degree is characterized by a major discipline (the name of the degree), for which we recommend a very good command of the corresponding subjects in high school, and a good command of any associated experimental skills.
- Each specialization often includes a second discipline, for which a good command of the corresponding subjects in high school is recommended.
A very good command of the skills expected in Physics and Chemistry at the end of the final year of high school is recommended.
A good command of the experimental skills expected in Physics and Chemistry at the end of the final year of high school is recommended.
A good command of the skills expected in Mathematics at the end of the final year of high school is recommended, depending on the portal to which the course belongs.
